contacted me yet. I know the e-pics are low key, but is there something I should know before I take them?

Re: I am doing my e-pics this Saterday but no one has
Yes, be sure that you and FH wear something nice. We went last week to take our pics and thought they were only going to take from our waist up so we wore nice shirts, but with jeans and sneakers!! They photographer advised us to make another appt. and come back nicely dressed because he takes full body pictures and many of them too!!

Re: I am doing my e-pics this Saterday but no one has
Here's some info I received from my photographer for our EPics:
Some thoughts on clothes:
Avoid large bold patterns and bright colors that may tend to draw attention away from the face. You want your faces to be the focal point, so long sleeved solids or very subtle prints are usually most flattering.
Consider the background you want for your portrait. Medium to dark clothes are best for a dark background. Medium to light clothes are ideal for a light background. If we are shooting outside, we have more flexibility - but obviously if we are shooting in the park, you probably don't want to be wearing too much green, btw, the park should be quite nice in late April (have you been to the botanical gardens on 105th? - we had our wedding shots done there).
Shoes and stockings/socks are most often overlooked. They should compliment, not contrast. Remember to fully coordinate your attire from head to toe.
Busy patterns and bold colors tend to make a person look larger than they are. Dark clothing tends to minimize body size. Save patterns for small accent items like scarves and neckties.
Necklines are important. A 'V' or scoop neck is best if your neck is short and you face is full. A turtleneck or high- necked garment is more flattering if your neck is longer and your face is slender.
You may want to apply your makeup slightly heavier than normal and some color to the cheeks and lips. This will enhance a your appearance and help minimize any imperfections.
